As somebody who likely will not (and has no interest in being) even a mid sized account I really don't get this attitude. There are people on the other end of these screen names. If you are an asshole it's crazy to expect them to be gracious about that for no reason
People get so weird in the mentions of people with lots of followers, and the threshold is lower on Bluesky than it was on Twitter -- I started getting Twitter 10k followers experiences on Bluesky around 2k. I wrote a thread about it a while back: bsky.app/profile/raha...
I'm wondering what the ideal number of followers is. I've certainly seen scornful mention of "people with under 100 followers", but not all of us were on Twitter before. I tried briefly about 12 years ago and couldn't stand the place.
